"We feel like we've got a lot to prove as a program after last week's game, but at the same time we feel like we're capable of doing it," Donnan said. If the Bulldogs are going to do it, they must play a lot better than they did against Southern Mississippi. In that game, Georgia looked flat and rusty as the offense sputtered.

Neither Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker nor Garrison Hearst have ever scored five touchdowns in a game for the Bulldogs. Edwards scored four TD's on the ground, rushing for 169 yards on 30 carries, and caught two passes for 42 yards and another touchdown, as Georgia ran away from the Gamecocks in the second half in a 42-23 Georgia win. "The South Carolina game was unreal. Unreal," Edwards told writers at the SEC Media Days in July. "I've looked at the tapes a couple of times, and I've wondered how I did some of those things I did.

We are a long ways away from being a really good football team." "We have to continue to improve every week, because, just as this week, the competition gets tougher every week. We have won the. opener, and that's just a good start." "We are playing a lot of young players' and that definitely excites me, because that is the future of this football team. It is good that we are playing these young players so early for two reasons. One reason being that they are getting plenty of reps this early and the other being that it shows how youthful our team really is." "I thought that Anthony .Wright played very respectable for an opening ball game. He made some good decisions out there, but mostly I was impressed with his poise." B"And now we step up to another level this week, and he will see a completely different type of defense. So, it will be another stiff challenge for Anthony, but Til* 1 1 /*11 1 1 i uiinK ne win De prepared for Georgia like he was last week." "Now Duce, I thought played real well, and he ran with the blockers well, but he also ran without the blockers well. I think that it gives our offensive line a lot of confidence and encouragement to have a player behind them that can get the job done." A KAPPA G ilations New inson Jill Suz lolka .

I think that their coach said it well when he said it was a surprise to everybody that their offense didn't play as well the first game as they're capable of playing." "We all know that they've got very gifted and talented players on the offensive side." "Robert Edwards is a back who is one cut away from taking it the distance every time he touches the ball. He's a very gifted back." "Mike Bobo is a very good quarterback. He was a little out of sync in- their opening game." "I think what we've got coming into the WilliamsBrice house is kind of an angry, mad and embarrassed Georgia football team. From their offensive , side of the football, that's bad for us." "On the defensive side of the ball, they played extremely well. That will present a great challenge for our young offensive football team because they return a lot of people." "Their front four is as good as any in this league. It might be better. I'm not sure, but their inside are . outstanding. They ve got the skills and speed on the outside. That's going to be a big challenge for us." "I think that the new atmosphere at WilliamsBrice Stadium is the best in the country. Last week's crowd was great, but with even more people in the crowd, it will be better."
